The Reds are preparing for their most important match in the season when they clash with defending champions Real Madrid in the Champions League final on the 26th of May to decide the European Champion.

As for competing for the Ballon d’Or, Lovren said: “I spoke to Mo about that but it is still quite an early stage. If we win, definitely he is one of the contenders. He has the quality. He has this world-class experience already.”
